Rating: 4 out of 5.

I really enjoyed this book. I couldn’t put it down and read it in only two days. The book is well-written and touches on subjects that should be talked about more. The female main character Diana identifies as fat and queer. She is a writer and filmmaker that tackles one obstacle after another to get her work funded and produced. I could relate to her struggle to achieve her dreams. It’s so hard to see less talented people that are connected get breaks when you can’t get one no matter how hard you work.

I also loved the male main character Drew. His patience with Diana was so sweet, even though I had a hard time believing any guy would be so patient. I confess that I don’t know much about the inner workings of the homosexual community and how they treat bisexual people, but it was discouraging that anyone would be criticized or ostracized because of who they are attracted to. I was glad when Diana decided to do what she wanted to without allowing the prejudice of others to dictate her behavior. That took a lot of courage. I also loved how faithful Diana was to her best friend. It also takes courage to defend a friend and go to the mat for them.

The book ends with a fairy tale ending that seemed a bit out of place with the challenges and troubles the characters went through, but I’m not mad at it. I lived vicariously through Diana as all of her dreams came true.

This book has diverse characters, tackles tough issues, but still has humor and sweetness in it. If that interests you, I highly recommend you check this book out.

I received a complimentary e-copy of this book from Entangled Publishing. All opinions are my own.
